Dealing with a receding hairline shouldn’t be the end of the story, and wasn’t for me, as I went all the way to Istanbul turkey for a hair transplant.  In this episode I interview the Dr. behind a tremendous entrepreneurial venture, Dr. Emrah Cinik.  If you are considering this procedure, feel free to reach out to me (@solohour on IG) and I’ll give you all the details and make the connect.

 

Today, IN PERSON (gasp!) Anna David (http://www.launchpadpub.com) stops by to talk about the book writing process, how her company Launch Pad Publications can handle *all of it*, and the advantages of writing a book in 2021.  As a personal note, the book writing process really helps you “hone in” on your brand and your offering, IMHO.

Vasavi Kumar is a clinical therapist that helps people, privately and publicly, with their addiction, and there’s no better therapist, as she’s a former addict herself.  She’s a master at looking inward and identifying what the source of the addiction is, and helping people through it.  Her membership community (at VasaviKumar.com/membership) serves not only people struggling with addiction, but people that can’t get out of their own way in their business.  She’s a real gem, and this show is a fantastic, frank conversation.

So, what if you made your living by traveling around the world and taking pictures, then they shut they world down?  Well, that’s what today’s guest, Gary Arndt (http://everything-everywhere.com) had to do.  Listen in to see how he solved the problem by “turning his brain inside out” and creating monetizable content.
